Parked next to a late 90s pickup a few weeks back that had Ontario plates on it. It was so rusty that it was sagging in the middle. The frame was cracked in half. They were driving it like that like it was nothing.
I guess you flat have to have a winter beater for anywhere north of, say, Kansas City.

Ah, the whole salt/rust thing is WAY overblown. If you take care of your car, make sure scratches and chips are fixed and you give it a bath once and a while, you will be fine. Seriously, it is extremely rare to see the proverbial rust bucket anymore.
I put mine away because I want to preserve it for the summer, top down driving months. And by preserve I mean keep the km's down. Don't want to waste kms in the winter!
